A step up from Head Jam

IMHO this might not be the best 5.7 for a new trad leader -especially if it is "greasy" from recent rains. The offwidth crack in the first 25 feet is harder than it looks and the pro was less than ideal.

Sustained

First pitch was pretty sustained in the 5.7 - 5.8 range. Bring gear up to #5 cam or a couple extra pieces in the 2 to 3.5 inch range. A single 60m rope will barely get you down from the top of the second pitch. Don't forget to protect the second on the traverses!

Big Pro

Pro up to #5 cam came in handy. Rap rings at top of first pitch. Have to make a gear anchor at the top of second pitch. Tricky chimney - took a while to figure out how to get out of the "cave" near the top.

Short

A short route with interesting moves. After 30 feet, the grade drops off to around a 5.4, where you have the option to walk back down. Bring a couple of 4 or 5 inch pieces of pro if you have it.

Definitely worth the hike

This would get a lot more traffic if were easy to get to. Meat Puppet is swarming with earwigs and no-see-ums in mid June.

none

Pumpy, less than obviouse route finding and gear placements will keep you thinking if your trad lead limit is 5.8.

Target Practice

Great View. Belay the second from above. Significant rope drag makes top-roping difficult.
